harder he struggled to free himself the
stronger the log held ON to him. Finally he
became exhausted, said his prayers prepara-
tory to death, and gave himself up to this
unknown and relentless foe. Then he lost
consciousness. When he recovered himself
he was lying on the river bank, where
ne had drifted, with the log alongside
Of him. At the close of the war
Capt. Howell, who was then 25 years
of age, began to study law He COM
bined politics with his profession, and held
the office Of alderman in Atlanta. Then he
became city editor Of The Atlanta Intelli.
gencer, but finally went back to law, and be-
came solicitor general Of his circuit He was
also elected to the state senate In 1875 he
was a delegate to the St. Louis Democratic
convention, and when he returned home he
once more gave up the law and bought an in
forest in The Atlanta Constitution, which was
then eight years old. 1t had been founded in
1868 by Carey w. Styles, who is known I'm
Georgia as the man who has started more
papers and made less money out Of them than
any other man in the state. The Con-
stitution was then owned by E. Y. Clarke
and N P. T. Finch, its editors, and w. A
HeDphill, its business manager Capt. How
ell bought out Clarke and started upon The
difficult task OF making a successful daily
paper He was aided by Hemphill and
Finch.
The pressing debts of the paper were paid,
but for some time money around The Consti-
tuition Office was a very scarce article. Capt.
Howell's father, who was a leading jurist of
Georgia, had little faith in Atlanta news
papers, but the captain determined to apply
to him for assistance. 1t was refused, and
Capt. Howell then said that he proposed to
mortgage his wite's house, which was pres
ent from her father-in-law.
"Do So" was the reply; "but don't come ID
me for another"
The house was duly mortgaged and tie
debts paid. Capt Howell and Mr.. Hemphill
now own over half Of the paper. The rest of
the stock is divided between Mr.. Grady and
John H. Inman, of New York.
Mr.. Grady associated himself with the
paper in 1875.
Capt. Howell was elected state senator for
o second time some time after The Constitu-
tons embarrassments were overcome, and
was delegate at large to the Democratic
conventions of 1880 and 1884. Still later
President Cleveland rendered Capt Howell
the appointment as consul to Manchester,
England, but the Office was declined.

Geved that he will be sent abroad as soon a.

told Of Mr.. Phelan by an eastern paper:
When Mr.. Foster, the Canadian minister Of
marine, arrived in Halifax last week he was in
tervewed on the subject Of the threatened seizure
Of the French and Argonaut He declared posi-
lively, reiterated the statement and confirmed
the assertion that he would take those vessels
wherever and whenever he found them on the
high seas
A reporter interviewed the consul general re-
garding the decision Of the minister. without
moments delay or hesitation the American repre-
sentative sought out Mr.. Foster, put to him the
question, and receiving an answer that left no
doubt Of the minister's position, he drew himself
up, and, pointing to an American man Of war In
the harbor, said Touch one Of those vessels and
that ship will tow the capturing cruiser into an
American port in twenty -four hours"
We can say positively that the minister has
countermanded his instructions.
